When you discipline a 15 month old you must ______________. Please fill in the blank. Sometimes I really feel like I have no idea what I am doing. How do you ignore tantrums yet still be tender to a child who doesn’t know how to express his feeling? How do you not go crazy saying… Continue reading How To Discipline a 15 Month Old

I Love Peeing My Pants?
We had the strangest weather yesterday. When I woke up, we were having freezing rain. I watched as that stopped and then a while later it started to rain and then it started to pour and then suddenly everything was white with hail, then it stopped. The sun shone for a while, it got cloudy,… Continue reading I Love Peeing My Pants?
Hug a Chiropractor
I love my chiropractor! Not in a romantical way of course, just in a “you fixed my body and I love you” way. It’s taken two visits and I’m almost completely fixed of my sciatic and back problems. I still have some hip pain but that’s just my arthritis dealing with my joints being loose… Continue reading Hug a Chiropractor
General Unwellness
Ugh, whatever my husband had last week has now graced my presence. I woke up this morning with a lovely sore throat and just an overall sense of unwellness. I hadn’t been feeling normal all weekend and now I guess I know why. GRRRR. For someone who never gets out in public often I do… Continue reading General Unwellness
The Conclusion of the Odor
After finishing yesterday’s post I bravely ventured to my closet, opened the door and looked in. The stench really hit me and I was frightened. I thought I would just do a quick surface scan of the closet to see if I could spot what the horrible odor was coming from. I saw shoes and… Continue reading The Conclusion of the Odor
A Good Mood Day
Silas has been in SUCH a good mood so far today. I don’t know what to do with it. I keep thinking I’m going to jinx it somehow! There wasn’t any fussing or hanging or whining or smashing of faces on the floor. It’s been a lovely morning, perhaps it’s because the sun is actually… Continue reading A Good Mood Day
Pay Me Back in Kisses!
When in Manitoba we attended a wedding where Brent was one of the groomsmen. I realized I have a much better appreciation for the speeches done by the parents during the reception. The groom’s mom got me rather teary although she did talk about “I’ll Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. A book that I’ve… Continue reading Pay Me Back in Kisses!
My Name is Silas
*I thought a little ‘get to know Silas’ would be a fun addition to my blog* Hi my name is Silas. I’m almost 15 months old. I weigh a whopping 30(some) pounds and I have blond hair and Hazel eyes. Momma gets mad when people call them brown, hers are brown and they look nothing… Continue reading My Name is Silas
Shower Time
Ever since Silas was a newborn I’ve loved to take him in the shower with me. When he was that small I could wash myself one handed. Then I’d sit on the bottom and lay back with him laying on my chest and he’d sometimes nurse and it was so nice and peacefull. He’d almost… Continue reading Shower Time
Is He Back?
Is this the calm before the storm or is Silas actually feeling better? I’m not hearing tears yet, or whining, or sadness. I’m frightened to move or to do anything wrong, oh the glorious quiet!! He’s just walked into the room with his cracker in hand and a smile on his face. I think my… Continue reading Is He Back?
My Headbanger
I was going to write a lovely blog today about all the things I love and adore about Silas, but after a week of him being a total grump, I’ve forgotten those things. Haha, no I haven’t. I’m just not in a mushy mood this morning. As I type this, Silas is having a little… Continue reading My Headbanger
He Needs Me?
I like to think that I’ve had a hand in making my son rather independent. He never minds when we leave him with a babysitter or the nursery at church, he keeps himself busy for most of the day without needing me (for playing purposes), he’s not shy, never been a mommies or a daddies… Continue reading He Needs Me?
A Fun Game?
My son has this blanket, it’s his “smushy” because he’s always liked to smush his face into fabric when he’s going to sleep, or just for kicks. Anyway, he usually drags his smushy out of his crib sometime during the day to smush and carry it around and whatnot. It’s become slightly dangerous, though, because… Continue reading A Fun Game?
Fear The Moo??
I’m typing this one handed while rocking my sick little booger-head. He’s needy today and the fire alarm in the building went off and has completely traumatized the lad. Thanks to that, I have the idea of what i’m going to write about today. Oooo two hands, I let go, steady now. Anyway, my son… Continue reading Fear The Moo??
Snotty noses and the boobie song
Lately my son has been pulling out my shirt and peering in to see what’s going on in there. I always tell him “those are boobies” and he quietly says beeboo and then smacks them or something like that. Anyway, he’s been singing this song lately and I haven’t thought anything of it. He just… Continue reading Snotty noses and the boobie song
